i have a ’sweet’ tooth ( the one that is not fully decayed yet ) 
Sugar is ‘the enemy’ – or at least ‘refined’ ( isn’t that such a ’sweet’ sounding word – so ‘refined’??) sugars are.
Sugars are everywhere – often in disguise ( lactose, fructose, glucose as well as the ‘evil’ sucrose) 
Learning to detect and overcome the more refined ones is an essential part of having a ‘healthy’ diet.
Most of us learn that too late from our parents – ‘get em while they are young’. It is the food corporations (like Coca Cola and McDonalds) ‘motto’ and it should also be ours!
Once they (we) become addicted to – or simply ‘used to’ – the taste ‘fix’ of pure refined sucrose it is so hard ‘going back’. 
It’s like an alcoholic – they can live perfectly well for weeks, years without a drink and then one little ‘taste’ and WHAM! – back off the wagon – it never leaves us alone.
I fool myself i can get by on just a ‘little’ because i have strong will-power– a little chocolate, a little cordial, a little slice of pie now and then – a cake here one day, a danish here the next but one, but they ALL ADD UP

Sugarholic, my name is selfaholic. I’ve not yet identified the cause, and the cure may yet be a long way off.

Hi Self-a-holic! 🙂
The ’cause’ is partly due to the ‘pain’ of being born on this planet – and partly the result of feeling like you are alone inside the body which is all your senses can ‘show’ you – all you can fully ‘rely upon’.
The cure may lie in patient understanding and observation and the ability to leave ‘yourself’ beihind, once you know there actually is far more to life than just your body.and the feelings it generates/reacts to?
Maybe? 😉
